What do you think of my 'What's A Girl To Do?' poem?

Question

(I originally wrote this as lyrics for a song several years back. The play was never produced. But I always thought it was a shame that few people have ever read this. So, what do you think? And do you think it sounds too dated now?)

WHAT’S A GIRL TO DO?


Made to feel guilty that I will
made to feel guilty when I won’t
made to feel guilty if I would
and made to feel guilty that I don’t.

Tell me now, what’s a girl to do?
I don’t understand.
Tell me now, what’s a girl to do,
get myself a man?

But I’ve been taught by women’s lib
that it’s wrong if they support us.
But my church tells me once again
that we are here just to support them.

Tell me now, what’s a girl to do
without a good man?
Tell me now, what’s a girl to do,
take a legal stand?

But Repubs say don’t make a fuss
when all the laws seem to screw us.
The system we can’t change, you say?
No equal pay for an equal lay?

(The last verses will be in details.)

Tell me now, what’s a girl to do
to have equal rights?
Tell me now, what’s a girl to do,
I turn to the Light?

But religion just spreads the Word
that I should learn not to be heard.
My duty here on Earth is done
when I can produce some man his son.

Tell me now, what’s a girl to do
to keep on living?
Tell me now, what’s a girl to do,
just keep forgiving?

Answer 1

Don't see it as being dated. Same applies now as then, and the poetic value will make it a better than average song. It's a shame it never made the stage.

Answer 2

The poem is well written, it's the subject matter that seems to be untrue... sounds like a bunch of crap to me...

Answer 3

it's dated
